Socialist People's Party of Denmark

The Socialist People's Party (SF) is a green and socialist political party in Denmark that was founded on 15 February 1959 by Aksel Larsen, a former Communist Party of Denmark politician. The SF emerged in response to Larsen's expulsion from the Communist Party for his criticism of the Soviet quelling of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. The party sought a third way between Denmark's United States-oriented social democracy and USSR-oriented communism, and it sought to combine democracy with socialism. The party's ideological base was a mixture of green politics and democratic socialism, and it branded itself as a "popular socialist" party.
